Hi Every one, I've been a little productive over the past four weeks, apart from changing jobs, I've had alot more shed time. my front wall of windows is installed they look a million bucks! the sliding barn door got a major leg up yesterday, the rail was installed! I got some 75 x 75 x 4 RHS , cut a slot along one side to accept the bolt from the four wheel carrage. 2 x10mtr cuts was a long time on the grinder! next we welded some arms from the upright and hung the track. I still have a few packs of timber flooring left, I'll use that to clad the doors. should be about 300 KG all up.
I have about 5 of these frames that will cover the opening.

Sure does especially compared to my piddling 1500 x 600 window on my shed although I'm in the middle of adding another 1200 x 600 to let a bit more light in. Have to admit I'm really enjoying my air con right now - I guess that's one small benefit of having fewer windows .

Why are the doors so tall when a significant section of the top part of teh door way seems to be filled in with wall?

Jason looks great

BOBL I envey your air con, the concrete panels and insulation offer great thermal quailities and drop the outside temp by about 6-7 degs. but I still have the aircon on my wish list. the cedar windows I had were in 3.9mtr sections, so not much framing in. I've mounted the doors that high to get the maxium height avaliable, I'll cut out the Z purlin and corro once I clad the doors. I want to avoid the " If only..." If only I'd made it a bit wider, I bit taller, a bit stronger, If only I spent a bit more..... Ive had no shed time today due to grankid duities today. but hope to clad most of the weekend. thanks all for your comments.

OK I get it - very good!

Hi all , a few progress shots of the doors, with the first coat of varnish, still a little more work needed on the rail, will have my ace welder back soon for an extra bracket or two. The doors run smothly with a little push, handeling the weight very well. still too put on the barn crosses, double rows I think.
